All processes in Linux have a PID (Process IDentifier) that is used to identify them. This is a unique number that is assigned to each process by the kernel. Programs like `ps` and `top` use this PID to identify processes. They work by listing the contents of the `/proc` directory, which contains a directory for each process, named after the PID of the process.
